1:04:15Now PlayingInterest rates should continue their downward journey on Oct. 29, as most forecasters expect the Federal Reserve to order another quarter-point cut to the benchmark federal funds rate.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns that the central bank has "no risk-free path" in guiding interest rates during a prolonged government shutdown, which leaves regulators without crucial data on where the U.S. economy is headed.
But the Fed seems intent on walking rates down. Nearly every forecaster expects a quarter-point cut at the October meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool. That action would leave the benchmark rate in a range of 3.75% to 4%. By contrast, the federal funds rate hovered above 5% through most of 2024.
